About this app
Jerboa is a app for Lemmy, a federated reddit alternative. Jerboa is made by Lemmy's developers, and is free, open-source software, meaning no advertising, monetizing, or venture capital, ever.
Lemmy is similar to sites like Reddit, Lobste.rs, or Hacker News: you subscribe to forums you're interested in, post links and discussions, then vote, and comment on them. Behind the scenes, it is very different; anyone can easily run a server, and all these servers are federated (think email), and connected to the same universe, called the Fediverse.

you have to sign up, not on the app itself; but through a hyperlink. from there you have to fill out your display name and email as well as a reason why you are there. if the mods dont like the reason or feel like you arent "cool" enough to join, they deny you and you gotta rinse and repeat on another instance. This app is for friends of the mods/admins only, not for anyone else.

Free and open source, always a plus. No ads. Somewhat customizable, but could be better. The killer feature of this app is that you can see both the upvotes and downvotes separately rather than being combined. Edit 2/2024: They partially took away that feature. Runs only okay. But this is enou-- hold up, why was I giving this app 5*? It's quite unreliable. The website works more often, because this app fails when DDG App Tracking protection fails. Plus, it's hard to log into your account.

Hello! I tried this today and really like how it looks and thank you for the very customizable font size! Two requests - a serif font (sans is really hard on the eyes of folks with vision issues) and a keyword filter please, to filter out posts, words, titles, and communities we don't want in our feeds. Thanks!👍
